Thanks, but in this case my reference is a woman with an octopus on her head so

But I'm just finding pics and almost 100% copying them so
BTW love your drawing.

Oh... I actually got a meaning from it in my mind... I thought I knew what it meant
Guess it's just a woman with an octopus on her head... Cool

But see this is what art is for! Everyone puts their own meaning to things

Thanks! And there’s nothing wrong with that, as long as you’re not copying exactly others art. Photos are fine. Next you can work on choosing two or three photos and combining them into one artwork and there you go!

I'll definitely try that!

Love it!
I've got a random question if you don't mind lol, would it be legal to draw someone else's photo and sell it? Not that I'm planning on selling anything, lol

Yes, that’s legal. There’s artistic liberty, as long as it’s not photorealistic (and if it is you cared the photographer) it’s legal. Most artists will try to add things to it. Add flowers, change the background, change hair color, and markings to the animal etc, or combine multiple photo references into a single piece of art. If you’re interested, I can attach the references I used for my fish astronaut as an example.

If you really want to be safe, find free stock images. There are sites for that, as well as sites just for generating art references

Οh that's good to know, thanks! We were talking about this with one of my friends and none of us knew whether it was legal or not, and online searches... umm were not really helpful lol.

Yeah of course!

Here’s an example of combining references
Reference + imagination = original artwork that’s legal to sell
